Dale's take on Chico

Chico sits in the middle of Northern California, and boats get stuck here all the time. A sailboat that won't sell. A bass boat taking up marina slip space. A pontoon that's been sitting on blocks for five years. That's where we come in. Hansons Boat Removal handles boat transport across Chico and the surrounding region. We move vessels inland, haul them to storage, ship them across state lines, or pull them out of water and send them to the recycler. Every boat is different. Some are worth salvaging. Some aren't. We assess the boat, quote you a flat price, and if you say yes, we show up on the day we promised and load it onto our truck. No surprises. No extra fees when we arrive. We know the roads, the marinas, the environmental rules, and the paperwork. This is what we do.

My crew hauls the vessel door to door with our truck and trailer, boat hauling from Chico driveways and marina slips. Jobs in Durham often stack with a Chico call, so the tow schedule moves fast. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved, details on the California boat hauling page.

What's covered

What boat transport covers in Chico

Boat transport in Chico means moving your vessel safely across inland routes to a new location, whether you've just bought a sailboat from a dealer up north, need seasonal storage transport from a local marina, or you're relocating your yacht to another part of California. We handle all of it. I've run boat movers up and down this region for over twenty years, and I know the roads. The same route runs through Nord and Butte Creek Canyon when we're headed east with a larger boat. We measure your boat's dimension and size, confirm the destination location, and match it to the right trailer and truck from our fleet. Damage prevention and safe handling are built into every trip. Our boat transport service covers the full distance, whether that's fifty miles to another marina or three hundred miles across state lines. We handle the equipment setup, secure the boat for transit, and manage delivery to the dock or destination you specify. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat hauling in Chico works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

    Hull length, beam, and height, both the pickup ZIP in Chico and the drop-off. Photos of any tight access, gate widths, or slope get the quote right the first time.

  2. 2

    Get a flat quote the same day

    One number covers loading, transport, oversize permits, fuel, and door-to-door delivery. No hourly, no fuel surcharges added later at the curb.

  3. 3

    Schedule the pickup window in Chico

    We confirm the date and a two- to four-hour arrival window the day before. The driver calls when the truck is an hour out so nobody stands around waiting.

  4. 4

    Load, lash, photograph, and transport

    The crew rigs the boat to the trailer, checks tie-downs and lights, and photographs the load before the wheels turn. Oversize permits, if needed, are already in hand.

  5. 5

    Delivery and photos at the drop

    At the drop the boat comes off the trailer under our own hands. You get the same photo record at delivery.

    Insurance runs load-to-unload. Certificate of coverage available before booking, not after something goes wrong.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Distance, hull size, and season move it from there. Full ranges and the per-mile rule live on the California boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Chico boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Chico?
Cost in Chico tracks distance, hull size, and season. The pricing section above shows how the rates combine. Send photos, hull length and beam, and both ZIP codes, and we hand back a firm number before we schedule.
How much is per mile to transport a boat?
Short runs cost more per mile than long ones — same loading work, less mileage to spread it across. The pricing above shows how it lands in Chico routes.
Can you move a 40 ft boat?
Yes, 40 ft is well within our range. Big hulls need a permit and a routing plan; both are our job, not yours. Add a couple weeks to the schedule and it works.
Are you the actual hauler or a broker?
Our trucks, our drivers, our name on the job from quote to delivery. Nobody hands your boat off to a different carrier. The person who priced it stays responsible.
Is my boat insured during transport?
Coverage runs from the moment it loads to the moment it comes off the truck. Certificate before booking, photos both ends.
Do I need a permit to move my boat, and who handles it?
Only wide loads need a permit, and we pull every one before the truck rolls. You do nothing on that front. The quote already includes it.
How far in advance should I book boat hauling in Chico?
Two to three weeks is the safe window. Spring de-winterizing and fall storage push are the busy stretches. Bigger boats need longer lead time to route.
